Thanks for the replies Rob and asdf, I actually just printed these instructions earlier today.

Haha, I'm sure if cussing the thing out would make it fit any easier then I would have no problem getting the header in.. I don't think there would be any difference in installation between an FG2 or an FA5, but knowing you had a slightly heavier car up on stands for 4 hours is comforting..

I have a few breaker bars of varying lengths, but is there actually room to use it either under the car or from the engine bay to break loose the bolts on the head? Hopefully I'll have someone helping me at least part of the time, but no lift unfortunately..

When you say swivel heads, I'm assuming you're talking about ratchets? If not, then what are they, and how would they help? Thanks for the pointers!
